Ah, to be able to read lmao

Wars are won (and lost) as a result of supply chain logistics.

One of the most important elements of the war machine is a well-fed and well-equipped soldier. As such, most armies have dedicated logistics divisions to ensure supplies, weapons, and machinery get to where they are needed on time.

Consequently, supply chain interdiction or disruption is a powerful weapon of war. To interfere with your enemy's logistical operations is to reduce the overall effectiveness of their combatants and thus their strategy.

Modern-day Russia was not prepared for this war to last as long as it has, their commanding officers have little regard for their soldiers, and they've historically had poor logistics to begin with.

This makes it easy to disrupt their supply chains, if they were even set up in the first place. Add this to tribalist infighting and a general lack of cohesion and you end up with people going hungry.

It might be that you have a mistaken view of cave dwelling.

Most such settlements only used relatively shallow rock-face caves, which eliminates the majority of your listed risks.

Without reliable light sources, you'll appreciate that people weren't delving kilometers deep into the ground. Caves were simply a way to protect from the elements and to provide a choke point to better defend against wild creatures.

I almost didn't even post this response.

What a roller-coaster. Glad you are free of that nonsense.

Do you?

Yeah, this is depressing in so many ways. Poor kids.

PowerToys is very much live and available for download. I use it daily.

Thought a discussion on this might be interesting. Unity may be signing their death but the decisions will have an impact on lots of studios and games in the meantime.

Not really sure what to do with this particular one myself. I've been really looking forward to Hometopia but this is a difficult pill to swallow for a game that proudly stated it would "always be free-to-play".

Agreed. But FOSS apps for Lemmy exist, use one of those!

I agree, Unity's aggressive monetisation encourages devs/publishers to do the same. Tbf, the guy behind it all has been quoted saying that anyone who doesn't aggressively monetise their game is an idiot...

This is absolutely fascinating. I can't even.

This cracked me up also aha

Congrats!

I'll humour you! Time is fascinating and malleable and really quite intangible.

So, if you want, fire away with anything you find fascinating about the concept of time!

It's a huge jump. Difficult to compare it to a game on another platform though.

Update: Thanks to @JoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.ml below for clearing up the Proton confusion. I'm glad they can still be trusted.

Original message: Proton being out is devastating. Why does everything go to shit?

What about crêpes vs pancakes? Crêpes imho but to each their own!

If prisoners are not given the right to vote, there exists no good reason for them to want to reform. We must encourage the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-criminals into society else we are doomed to find that they will reoffend again and again.

Treat someone like a criminal and they will have no choice but to act like it.

Well, yes, but the reality is that the crowd-sourced aspect of it is what protects you. But you're right, there's always an element of risk!

Studies show that wind turbines kill a fraction of a percentage of the total bird population. Not ideal, but ultimately negligible.

Lmao yep of course. It just sucks that we can't ever have anything nice.

To be fair, this largely depends on the country you're in. Appreciate that the bike is going to be pretty useless in somewhere as car-centric as the US, but I've lived in rural areas in the EU where the bike was quite enough.

That last line chef's kiss

I dunno, but I suspect we've all surpassed it 😅

A worthy achievement in and of itself. Keep it up, I believe in you!

I was going to say this... all three are excellent options!!!

I wish I had a waffle fella!

I always used to assume crêpes when people said 'pancake' but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.

Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.

Ah yes, the classic take: your anecdotal experience is conclusive evidence.

What an idiotic take. A good government is elected by the people and directed by them to make decisions in their favour. Of course it is the government's role to protect its population from dangerous food additives.

That's so exciting! Hope you have a blast!

Oh my god this is why we can't have nice things ffs

Good grief, that's very good.

You awful, awful person.

PowerToys is the way.

It's so messed up, those posts were covering literally everyone's feeds. So many bots it was quite insane tbh...

Hope you can still enjoy the trip. P Some people change though... and some don't. Might just mean you need a new friend group.

You are utterly delusional.

That's awesome, I'm really happy for you!
